Well kids, it's almost Valentine's Day and that means 2 things: it's time to eat amazing foods enveloped in chocolate...and drink champagne. Yeah, I know. Not everyone's Valentine's Day is like that. Whether you are single, dating, or married this is a perfect dessert to serve! You can fill these buttery delights with anything (peanut butter, jam, cream cheese, chocolate chips or for those savory lovers - cheese. These were super easy to make but we put together a video for you so you can look awesome on Valentine's Day. And if you are single it may be even better because you can keep these babies all to yourself.

I hope you all enjoy these special treats. We enjoyed making (and eating) them! Share them with someone you love today!
